Fyfe said with so many new players at the club, it would take time to get everyone on the same page.

“I think we’ve had 22 new players joining our team since the end of 2016, so we’ve got to find our identity as a group and that will take a number of months to do,” Fyfe said.

“And we’ve got to get on the same page as Ross Lyon and the coaches’ game philosophy.

“We’ve got to train hard over the summer as every other team is doing. It’s a big job for the leaders and the whole group.”

Fyfe starred during the recent 2-0 International Rules series win over Ireland. The 26-year-old took two weeks off after the series, but is now ready to ramp things up again in the lead-up to the Christmas break.
